I cannot say that there is a bug or not because I never really understood your problem because it wasn't clearly formulated in the beginning and throughout the thread, the prior email messages were all clipped. This makes it next to impossible to follow what is going on unless one has the luxury of ample free time -- please see the Support page on the web site, it presents some ideas that, if followed, will surely increase your chances of getting good help. > > > As someone on this list previously showed, the times specified on the Bacula > > timeout directives are not correct due to the fact that different OSes return > > immediately when a connection fails and others wait some undetermined time. > > In addition, the SD typically can take up to 30 minutes to cancel a job > > depending on the exact state of the FD when it hangs. > > That's interesting (and something I didn't know).

I cannot answer that since as far as I know the SD does timeout in 30 minutes if not contacted by the FD. As I indicated above, your exact problem was far from clear to me in the limited time I have to read emails. Try (re)reading the Support page, kicking back and thinking about the problem, then starting by scratch and presenting the problem (rather than your conclusions) in a clear, concise way with example output, and in your case the DIR and SD conf files. Sorry, but that is the best advice I have, then at that point, perhaps someone will be able to help you.
